I see Mr. Bush has opened yet another can of worms. I wished he would think twice before he spoke. Calling a friend, supposedly, an “”axis of evil”” was a little bit testy. Did he have to say that?

Between Mr. Cheney and Mr. Powell, and Mr. Bush they are beating the war drums, and who pays for that? Many innocent people, and our fighting men and women. Is he really looking out for our country or is he trying to please his father?

I believe somewhere along the way, he also used the word “”pygmy.”” That is an insult to injury.

Don’t underestimate the defense in both Iraq and North Korea. It could be devastating. What will be, will be. I just hope he will chose his words more carefully.
